What Customers Are Saying

The product offers powerful airflow and effective cooling, as well as providing soothing background noise. However, some customers have experienced issues with the fan's durability, reporting problems like noisy operation, mechanical failures, and the unit stopping working after a year or two of use. While the product's performance is generally praised, the lack of long-term reliability appears to be a significant concern.

Worked great for awhile....

Would Recommend

but then the oscillation started to act up. It still oscillates but it makes a loud clicking noise at various points in swing cycle. This defeats purpose of steady white noise for sleeping. Otherwise, a nice inexpensive fan - pushes a fair amount of air for its size. Purchased November 2020.

Impossible to clean!!!

Would Not Recommend

Do not buy this fan if you expect to clean it!!!! Holmes recommends never removing the front grill but using a vacuum cleaner to clean it, that’s ridiculous! A vacuum cleaner doesn’t have enough suction to remove dust, dog hair etc. from the blades when holding the vacuum outside the grill/body of the fan! Wish I’d never bought the Holmes HAO-90!

Noisy and it squeaks!

Would Not Recommend

I installed this as a wall fan on August 3, 2020 as a replacement for an old Holmes fan that eventualy died. Even at low speed this new fan is loud and soon afte putting it into service it developed an annoying squeak, like the sound of a cat coughing up a hairball.

Really cools a bedroom. Not the quietest, but I like the white noise it makes. Lightweight and easy to clean.

Perfect little fan!

Would Recommend

It’s the perfect “white noise” fan! This is our third one because we can’t find anything that is as noisy (but in a good way).
